Action Bar's onClick listener for the Home button

Question

How can I implement a custom onClickListener for the Home button of the Action Bar?

I already did a getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); and now I want to redirect the user to a certain activity in case the Home button is clicked.

I tried with:

@Override     public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {         switch (item.getItemId()) {         case android.R.id.home:             item.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new OnMenuItemClickListener() {                 public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {                     Intent i = new Intent();                     i.setClass(BestemmingActivity.this, StartActivity.class);                     i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);                     startActivity(i);                     return true;                 }             });         default:             return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);         }     } 

but it never enters in the onMenuItemClick.

Basically, it's done just like in this link but still it doesn't enter in the listener.

Answer 1

if anyone else need the solution

@Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {     int id = item.getItemId();      if (id == android.R.id.home) {         onBackPressed();  return true;     }      return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); } 

Answer 2

I use the actionBarSherlock, after we set supportActionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
we can override the onMenuItemSelected method:

@Override public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {      int itemId = item.getItemId();     switch (itemId) {     case android.R.id.home:         toggle();          // Toast.makeText(this, "home pressed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();         break;      }      return true; } 

I hope this work for you ~~~ good luck
